Happy Merdeka Everyone!

Yes I'm Writing More...

Ironic ain't it that after posting about me wanting to write more here, I've acually written LESS.

But really, I HAVE been writing more. But only to serve my flaming new passion: screenwriting. Not sure if I've mentioned this, but for the past few weeks, I've been working on developing a sitcom. The script for the pilot is done, and now I'm putting together the powerpoint to present to a TV station next Wednesday. Oh yes, this shit is for real.

What's also real is an impending career change for me (so dramatic, huh?). I've thought long and hard about stuff, and this desire to simply tell stories to the whole wide world is slowly overriding all other goals that used to consume me.

To write is what I wanna do, and so it shall be. Movies, TV shows, short films... I'm just bursting with ideas and I simply can't wait to get cracking. Wish me luck!

Ramadhan/Raya Greetings Have Begun!

I don’t know when they first started doing it, but I've always looked forward to reading Ramadhan/Raya greetings from overseas Malaysians. They don’t usually say anything original, but when I was younger, these greetings became somewhat of an inspiration to me – “Wah, pakai baju melayu main snow, best nya!!!”

So it’s kinda cool that the papers have already started running the greetings. They put a smile on my face, and a couple have made me chuckle:

This brader basically wishes everyone back home Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan, WHILE HOLDING A DRINK

...

...
These kids don’t look happy at all, do they? They might as well hold up a sign that says “HELP US”

Ramadhan Is Here!

Can’t wait for Ramadhan to begin. Sure I need to lose some weight, but the most important thing is to snap up as much of God’s ‘goodies’ during this period of time.

And yes, I just want to see and feel a better world out there, where people don’t lie and slander each other like nobody’s business on a daily basis. I mean, do you actually think all this negative energy is doing the country any good? It’s tiring lah.

Let’s do our jobs. Talk less. Submit to God. Sounds like a plan, no?

Here We Go!

So I know, it's kind of funny that despite being a huge footie fan, I hardly blog about it. Well, all that's gonna change now. Especially since I strongly believe that the team I've supported since I was a dot on an ultrasound scan, Liverpool, will win the EPL trophy this season.

Yeah, yeah, I've heard all the arguments about how last year was The Reds' best chance to win it, but being written off this year will prove to be a blessing in disguise. The Shebbys and Masefields can go on worshipping Man U (hello, the graph on the jersey already showing how they'll be a flop this season) and Chelsea, Gerrard and co will sneak it this season with a couple of games to spare. Yes, that is an OFFICIAL PREDICTION, folks...

...

Of course Rafa has to do a couple of things:

1. Play the BEST 11 from the start EVERY BLOODY TIME. Failure to do this resulted in those stupid draws against the Stokes and whatnots. Bring on the reserves only when the game is won, comprende?

2. FORGET ABOUT THE CUPS. Let the smaller clubs battle it out for the Champions League and all that shit. FOCUS. ON. THE. FREAKING. LEAGUE.

What about mega rich Man City, you ask? Well, they'll win the title sometime in the future, no doubt, but before that happens, The Reds will keep the trophy for a couple of years.

Here we go!

Malaysians In Need Of Help

Dear all, I opened this blog to highlight the plight of unfortunate Malaysians who need your help. I know we're all busy with our lives and stuff like this might escape our attention. So hopefully, by putting all the news in this blog, we could all be aware and contribute whatever we can. Please share with me if you know of others who might benefit from being highlighted here. Thank you.
